Hi Steffen

Congratulations on finishing your builds

Nice to see the finished pair of Albatroses – they certainly look good standing there together. Hope to see more WWI builds from you soon!

Best Regards

Mikael

Thank you Terri and Mikael!

Sadly the Oeffag is not done yet (but it is pretty advanced). Mikael I do not think I will add more WWI stuff soon, but who knows, I have more than sufficient started and unstarted kits in the stash

Also I did not take pix in Marc's garden this time so I just hope we will have nice weather here tomorrow.

all the best

Another great and built (!) model! What a prop!!

So what's your opinion on WWI aircraft modelling now? Shall we (I mean those who love to watch instead of doing (I mean building) ) expect more from you?

Well, not too soon. Of course I will finish the Oeffag, but then I will probably pick some other projects from the stack of WIP projects

all the best

It certainly looks like an Albatros to me. Nice build.

Thanks Carl ... I think!

When experts write such comments I am never sure if it is meant ironic

all the best

As before Steffen you did a very fine job on your build and one you can be proud of !


When ever you decide to build another WWI subject I look forward to seeing it

Thanks Terri!!

I have often seen discussions where one person stated the kit is nothing near the original aircraft (or object) and another stated "but it looks like it" so you might see this statement as an euphemism for not accurate or bad .... thus I asked.

Also I am proud that I finished it and I like the result but I would do a better interior today

all the best

Steffen
